Where did you get the Badings scale from or should i say slice of the harmonic series.
Just curious.
He had one of the best ears of any one i have ever met and a wonderful person i might add. he played me tapes of a string piece using harmonics into the 20's when i visited him in '88

Hi Kraig,

There are two Badings tunings in the scala archive.

this one which I used
! badings1.scl
!
Henk Badings, harmonic scale, Lydomixolydisch
9
!
9/8
5/4
11/8
3/2
13/8
7/4
2/1
9/4
5/2

and this one I think I will try

! badings2.scl
!
Henk Badings, subharmonic scale, Dorophrygisch
9
!
10/9
5/4
10/7
20/13
5/3
20/11
2/1
20/9
5/2

Are there possibly more tunings from him floating around?

very very strange.
I wonder how this scale was arrived at. if they are just listing the notes he used in a piece or if he thought of the scale past the octave.
these are harmonic and subharmonic series that is all
8-14 with a different tonic chosen which might be the key to the names
I can't seem to stretch the names to fit the scale though.

I am not a big fan for straight series but if you like it you can take your own with different sections of the series and take a subset of that.

I do prefer the 7-14 series over the 8-16 though. if i were to use the 8-16 either way i might drop say the 14 or one of the others. that 8 tone scale doesn't do it for me .

One could also play with the idea of flipping two of the intervals around so it would be in a different order. Lou Harrison showed me how they would do something like this with slendro and I think Bill Alves did that with his gamelan switching the sLsLs ( as in small-large) pattern to where it was LLsss. But i don't remember the mode off hand.

Provocative. Sounding nicer in parts without the jibber-jabber I think.
